New £1bn government upgrade to plug Great Britain’s draughtiest homes

Households could save 400 a year on energy bills via means-tested insulation scheme

Households could save up to 400 a year on energy bills under a new means-tested scheme to insulate more than 300,000 of Great Britain's draughtiest homes.

The government is spending 1bn on grants for homes that have low energy efficiency ratings and are in lower council tax bands.
